I am a white girl, I am Irish and English by heritage, and I was born in Honolulu Hawaii in 1969 (yea I have my birth certificate long and short forms both! Cost me a total of maybe 25$) and I know racism. I lived it as a haole in Hawaii. When my family moved to Oregon in 1977, I was below first grade academically when I should have been a solid 3rd grader because the teachers didn't give a hoot about the haole kids in their classes. I wasn't the only white kid in the back of the classroom looking at the walls.
I have lived racism, and you know what it taught me? The rea racists in this world use racism as a means to an end. Be it character assassination, or just flat out discrimination.... racists use race as a means to an end. Now we have got to ask ourselves... just who is it that is using race as a means to an end in national politics?
Ummm hummmm Talking heads like Morgan Freeman, Jeannine Garafalo.... leftist democrat shills are using race as a means to an end!!!!!!!!
It is WAY far pas time we start talking about the real history of the GOP! It is the GOP and Lincoln who ended slavery. It was the GOP White House and conservative controlled congress which pushed through the 14th, 15th, and 16th Amendments to the constitution. It is NOT the GOP who had a leader who was also a Grand Kleegal in the KKK! That was the Democrat Party! It is not the GOP who supported Jim Crow laws in the south! It was the Democrat party in the south which wrote and then passed those laws!
We need to start standing up and calling this BS from the left what it is... RACISM. I don't really care on a personal level whether these leftists are racists themselves, or if they are just spouting the party line, either way it is morally WRONG and we need to stand up against this insidious politically correct and immoral tactic!
Thank you for taking a stand and forcing the left to admit that America isn't racist anymore! THEY are! It is the left which throws the accusation because they know that they would quiver with shame and fear if anyone had the stones to call them on this! - to name them as what they are, racists, using race as a means to an end. When THEY stop using race as a means to an end, RACISM WILL END ALSO!
Thanks Lloyd! You fight the good fight my brother!
And Danae don’t forget that it was Woodrow Wilson, a democrat, in the early 1920s that pretty much institutionalized segregation especially in the Federal government and that has been the focus of the democrat party ever since!
